Mijnor Tony Gonzalez Trivai
 

If you look at the Chiefs' starting lineup in Tony G's rookie year, here is the year that each starter left the league:

2008 - Donnie Edwards
2007 -
2006 - Will Shields
2005 - John Browning, Dale Carter, Reggie Tongue, Jerome Woods
2004 -
2003 - Dave Szott
2002 - Vaughn Booker, Tamarick Vanover
2001 - Elvis Grbac, Glenn Parker, James Hasty
2000 - Kimble Anders, Andre Rison, Tim Grunhard, Anthony Davis, Pete Stoyanovich, Louis Aguiar
1999 - Greg Hill, Joe Phillips, Derrick Thomas
1998 - Ted Popson, Jeff Criswell, Terry Wooden
1997 - Lake Dawson

I just thought it was interesting that his median teammate that year has been retired for 12 seasons, and only one teammate has been on the field in the past 6 seasons.

As other trivia, the oldest guy on that roster who was drafted as a Chief was Kevin Ross, back after doing tours in Atlanta and San Diego. When Ross was a rookie, Todd Blackledge was our starting quarterback.

The oldest overall guy on the roster was Marcus Allen. In Allen's rookie season, he had one teammate who played before the AFL-NFL merger (Ted Hendricks).

I'm basing it on this site: http://www.pro-football-reference.co...997_roster.htm

And just so people know, trivai is the ancient Latin spelling of the American word 'trivia'. I'm trying to look sophisticated. And Mijnor is the Dutch word for 'minor'.

Sophisticated and impressive.

Thjanks.

don't forget pointless

I think that party you attended with the 1.8 milion dollar painting has made an influence on you. And that's OK.

Lake Dawson...dude could have been a great WR.

Pointless. Mainly pointless.

I still see Lake Dawson jerseys on occasion.

We all have our roles.

Chuefs are favored by Veags this week

Those aren't Dutch. Maybe Belgian, but not Dutch.

What was all that Dutch and Latin talk?

I thought you were trying to facilitate diversity.

Too bowed legged and slow. He was ok for a few years though.

I am, but I'm not sure about the Belgians. Other than their horses. Belgian horses are cool.
